Paula Scher is an iconic graphic designer, has been a partner in the New York Pentagram office since 1991, and is an inspiration to generations of designers around the world. Vince Frost is one of them. Her 40-years of experience have seen her work for Microsoft and Citibank and she’s featured in the Netflix series Abstract:The Art of Design by Scott Dadich.

In this episode you’ll discover why she had to fight for a career as a designer, and how she made it work in New York City without a penny to her name. You’ll also learn why she thinks it’s not possible to ‘Design Your Life’, and how she reinvents herself every five years as part of her process around design.

Stay tuned for Episode 005 featuring the inimitable force driving a global food-waste revolution, Ronni Kahn.
